Gear Locations
This page provides up to date creel positions from those vessels who have notified SWFPA. We work to encourage mutual respect between all sectors of the industry so as to avoid spatial conflict. It is important that static gear is correctly marked; information regarding marking can be found here and here.
In May 2018, the Scottish Government announced new measures to improve requirements for static gear within 12 nm of Scottish baselines. It entails:
- Issuing guidance setting out best practice for marking static gear
- Introducing legislation to prevent marking gear with inappropriate items such as milk cartons and netted footballs
- Requiring licensed fishermen to mark buoys etc. with the PLN
- Requiring unlicensed fishermen to mark gear with a unique reference number provided by Marine Scotland
